Decoration increases the conspicuousness of raptor nests [Dataset] 2016

The dataset contains the results of the trials of nest detectability using 25 volunteers as "experimental conspecifics” to estimate the detectability of black kite nests to trespassers. The dataset include the ID of Volunteers; Id of the images; ID of the nest; Distance to the nest (measured in AGL and meters); Position of the UAV when taking the image (zenithal, lateral or approaching snapshots); Decoration of the nests (Decorated (1) vs. non-decorated (0)); Detection of the nest by the volunteer (Detected (1) vs. non-detected (0)); Time to detection (seconds); Detection_pair (coded as 1, if the images from the same position and both treatments were detected in a nest, or 0, in the opposite case) and nest dimensions: lenght, width and opening angles, defined as the three angles of unobstructed view of the sky (see main text for further details)
